• The surface temperatures of this heater are within the

requirements of EN60335-2-61, the European Standard

covering the safety requirements for Electric Storage

Heaters, and momentary contact with any part of the heater

should not cause injury. However, in order to be effective,

heaters of any type do get hot, especially around the air

outlet grille.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a

qualiﬁed individual in order to avoid a hazard.

• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years

and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or

mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if

they have been given supervision or instruction concerning

use of the appliance in a safe way and understand

the hazards involved. Children must not play with the

appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance must not be

made by children without supervision.

• Children of less than 3 years should be kept away unless

continuously supervised. Children aged from 3 years and

less than 8 years shall only switch on/off the appliance

provided that it has been placed or installed in its intended

normal operating position and they have been given

supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance

in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

Children aged from 3 years and less than 8 years must not

plug in, regulate and clean the appliance or perform user

maintenance.

CAUTION — Some parts of this product can become

very hot and cause burns. Particular attention has to

be given where children and vulnerable people are

present.

• If aged or inﬁrm persons, or young children, are likely to

be left unsupervised in the vicinity of a heater precautions

should be taken to ensure that prolonged contact with the

heater cannot occur. Where particularly vulnerable people

are likely to be left unsupervised in the vicinity of the heater

we recommend that a guard is ﬁtted around the heater, as

is normal with heating appliances in similar circumstances.

A range of guards specially designed for Dimplex heaters

is available. If you require further information on these

guards, please see contact details on back page of these

instructions.

Do not place objects within

300mm of the front of the

heater and 150mm (min.

75mm) either side.

CAUTION: DO NOT COVER SURFACES OF THE

HEATER AND DO NOT OBSTRUCT AIR OUTLET

GRILLES.

• Surfaces of the heater should not be covered or obstructed

as this can cause excessive temperatures that can be

hazardous and may cause safety cut-outs to operate. This

will stop the heater from working.

• Do not put clothes, fabrics or any combustible materials on

the heater.

• Do not allow objects to come within 250mm (10”) of the top

and 75mm (3”) of the ends of the heater. Do not allow any

obstruction to be placed on the ﬂoor within 300mm (12”) of

the front of the heater and 75mm (3”) of each side.

• Curtains must not come to within 75mm (3”) of the top of

the heater.

• DO NOT SIT OR STAND ON THE HEATER.

• DO NOT PLACE OBJECTS IN CONTACT WITH THE

HEATER.

IMPORTANT - Due to the newness of materials the heater will•

produce a smell for the ﬁrst few days of operation. Rooms must

be well ventilated and young children, caged birds, or persons

with respiratory complaints must not remain in close proximity

to the heater during the ﬁrst 48 hours of operation.

PLEASE NOTE: YOUR HEATER IS VERY HEAVY AND

MUST BE SECURELY FIXED TO A SOUND WALL.

• No attempt should be made to move the heater without

ﬁrst seeking specialist advice. If you are not happy that the

heater has been securely ﬁxed, please inform your installer.

ATTENTION:

IN ORDER TO AVOID

OVERHEATING DO NOT

COVER THE HEATER

The bene•ts of Quantum

Quantum is designed to be a responsive heating system

that meets your comfort requirements while optimising

energy use.

The heater releases heat in two ways:

1. A small amount of heat is dispersed by ‘natural’

convection and radiation from the heater case.

2. The vast majority of heat is released using the built-

in fan that pushes hot air out from the heat outlet

grille at the bottom of the product.

Minimising the release of stored heat from the outer

casing means that more energy is available when

warmth is required. This makes more efﬁcient use of the

stored energy as you can ‘turn off’ the heater when you

are out or do not need it.

Heater Commissioning

IMPORTANT - The new materials in the heater will

produce a slight smell for the ﬁrst few days of operation.

Rooms must be well ventilated and young children,

caged birds, or persons with respiratory complaints must

not remain in close proximity to the heater during the ﬁrst

48 hours of operation.

During ﬁrst operation of the fan you may notice a small

amount of dust discharged from the air outlet grille at the

bottom of the product.

Function

Compared with traditional storage heaters the amount

of energy released from the outer case of the heater

is signiﬁcantly reduced, resulting in lower surface

temperatures. This allows more efﬁcient running

because the Quantum is heating the room only when

you want it to.

The stored energy is primarily released by using a

low speed fan to ‘push’ the heat from the stored core

and into the room. Running the timed programmes or

adjusting the temperature thermostat will prompt the

heater to run the fan automatically if it is required.

NOTE: THERE MAY BE A SHORT DELAY ON THE

FAN OPERATION WHEN SWITCHING TO ‘Comfort

On’ AND ‘Comfort Off’, THIS IS NORMAL.

Summer

When heat is not needed both wall switches may be

turned off. Turn these both back on when heat is

needed again in autumn, all of your previously

stored settings and programmes will be remembered

by the the heater.

NOTE

DUE TO THE LOW ENERGY LOSSES FROM

THE CASING OF THE HEATER THE SURFACE

TEMPERATURE MAY APPEAR TO BE LOW, BUT

THIS IS NORMAL.

NOTE

OCCASIONAL CLICKING SOUNDS DURING

OPERATION ARE DUE TO TEMPERATURE

CHANGES IN THE STORAGE CORE.

- 6 -

Operation

The user controls are located on the top right of the

heater.

The heater is ﬁtted with an adjustable electronic

temperature controller and three buttons.

Programmable timer

1Display screen

2 ‘Menu’ button

3‘Back’ button

4Comfort status

5‘Selector Dial’

6 ‘Advance’ button

The minimum room temperature setting is 14°C.

The maximum temperature setting available is 26°C.

A temperature of approximately 21°C represents a

normal room temperature.

It is normal for the fan to stop running for periods of time.

This happens because the room temperature is at or

above the temperature set on the control and the room

does not need more heat at this time.

- 7 -

Control Functions

The heater controls can easily be adjusted by using a

combination of the three buttons and the selector dial,

which can be rotated and pressed.

1. The DISPLAY SCREEN shows the options available

at each stage of the adjustment.

2. MENU displays the main options list;

Date / Time - Setting today’s date / time.

Timer Mode - Setting the timer to your individual

requirements.

Boost - Selecting boost element operation.

Options - ‘Daylight Saving’ settings.

Summary - Heater diagnostics.

3. BACK shows previous programming stage.

4. The periods during which the heater is providing heat

are deﬁned as ‘Comfort On’ (this is shown at the bottom

of the screen). Outside of these periods the heater will not

deliver heat and these periods are called ‘Comfort Off’.

During the ‘Comfort On’ periods the low speed fan will

run. During the ‘Comfort Off’ periods the fan will not run.

If the heater is ‘Comfort Off’ and heat is required, press

the ADVANCE button. If the heater is ‘Comfort On’ and

heat is not required, press the ADVANCE button and it will

go off until the beginning of the next ‘Comfort On’ period.

5. SELECTOR DIAL can be turned clockwise and anti-

clockwise and enables the required room temperature to

be adjusted. The screen colour changes for warmer and

cooler settings, showing deep blue through to bright red.

The SELECTOR DIAL is also used within the menu

options to select and conﬁrm your settings.

Pressing the SELECTOR DIAL once will reveal the

current timer mode, the software version and conﬁrm the

off-peak operation.

6. ADVANCE overrides the time settings and changes

the operational state of the fan, which will remain ON

until the next OFF period is due, or OFF until the next

ON period is due.

Setting the Date and Time

Your Quantum controller incorporates a real time clock

with calendar function. The time clock has a battery

backup that will keep the clock running in the event of a

mains power outage.
